Domestic helper wage increase / Hong Kong Creative Ageing Arts Festival

主持人：Jim Gould and Car Ha

On Wednesday's Backchat, we're talking about the minimum wage for foreign domestic workers.

Last Friday the government announced that the minimum pay rate would rise by $120 to $4,990 a month, a 2.5 percent increase, and on par with year-on-year consumer price inflation.

It applies to all new contracts signed from last Saturday.

Migrant workers' unions have said the increase was not enough, and expressed disappointment at the authorities' decision to keep the food allowance unchanged.

Meanwhile, employers' representatives say a 2.5 percent increase is too high, pointing to last year's inflation figure of 1.7 percent.

After 9:45, we'll speak to two of the directors involved in the Hong Kong Creative Ageing Arts Festival.

9:05am-9:45am: Domestic helper wage increase

9:05am-9:45am: Thomas Chan, Chairman of the Hong Kong Union of Employment Agencies

9:05am-9:30am: Sringatin, Spokesperson of the Asian Migrants’ Coordinating Body
